VITALANT PRESENTATION - BLOOD DONATIONS NEEDED

Molly Barari from Vitalant updated us during our virtual Rotary meeting concerning the need for blood, plasma and platelet donations during the COVID19 pandemic. She reminded us that donors are a vital link in this experience and that donations save lives. Over 90% of us will need blood before the age of 72. Transfusions occur every 2 seconds in the United States. Blood donations are also used for therapy and research. Molly encouraged us to make an appointment using their website: https://www.vitalant.org/Home.aspx. They are open 7 days a week.
